Music Wednesday’s with The Phoenix Philosopher

I am very excited and pleased to bring you a song from a local artist, Seng! After lots of hard work and dedication, Seng brings you “Touch Me In The Dark”. The song isn’t only sang, but it is also written AND produced by Seng. (yes Seng and sang sound exactly the same… lol) The song has a dark undertone to it. Very dance driven and sicken beats, are what drew me in at first listen. After many repeats (so addicting!) the lyrics are really what took center stage. A lot of dance tracks are manufactured with heavy emphasis on the beats and bass lines. In this track though, the song is a work of art, rather than a product of an assembly line. While the background track is excellently crafted, the beauty of the lyrics don’t go ignored. They flow together wonderfully and are very creative. Give the song a listen a few times through. If you like it enough follow the link below to iTunes and support not just a local artist but an awesome dance track!

Make sure to check out Seng on iTunes and more from The Phoenix Philosopher for music, fashion, movies and more at Phoenix Philosophies.

Welcome back for episode 31 of The AudioVillains Podcast. In this episode we take a trip down memory lane to when we were back in high school. We visit the fights that we were involved in and how Ed looks in his eighth grade picture. There is more to come as I catch up on all of the episodes so stay tuned!

Today is a sad day. One of my favorite wrestlers of all time has passed. The Macho Man Randy Savage is a Legend and is one of the greatest of all time. The Macho Man had many great matches during his career and one of them was even dubbed the greatest of all time when he fought Ricky The Dragon Steamboat at WrestleMania III. The most memorable match for myself would have to be WrestleMania VII. The Macho King, accompanied by his Queen Sherry, wrestled The Ultimate Warrior in a career ending match. As I type and watch this match it takes me back to my living room where I sat at age ten with some Cheetos, a can of pop, and my little bro watching and hoping that the Macho King would win.

I remember getting excited as the camera flashed a glimpse of Ms. Elizabeth. I wondered if she would play a role in the match. As the battle went on and Macho Man gave the performance of his life to save his career, Queen Sherry would intervene to help him out. But like any match, the manager who helps by cheating will mess up sooner or later. At one point Queen Sherry tries to hit The Ultimate Warrior with her heel but misses and hits Macho Man. He recovers and takes it to his opponent.

The battle goes back and forth but in the end the Ultimate Warrior won and ended Macho Man’s career. An upset Queen Sherry gets into the ring and attacks Macho Man. This is the beginning of the moment I will always remember. Ms. Elizabeth comes to the aid of The Macho Man and the crowd cheers. That moment proves true then as it does now because it was not a sad ending. It was a moment to cheer and give thanks. The cameras showed glimpses of fans crying, clapping, and you could hear them chant his name. Whether it’s fake or not it’s about the performance and the entertainment. You are now on the biggest stage to continue your grand performances. Thank you Macho Man for all the memories. R.I.P. brother! OOOO, Yeah!!!

You find it rewarding to be a Communications Training Officer (CTO), but it’s been a long day with the trainee that hasn’t gone well. You are so busy that your 12 hour shift has turned into 14 and finally the time to go home arrives. But then you remember…you still need to fill out your daily observation (field training paperwork) for the new dispatcher.

CTOs are a critical component for a successful trainee experience, and their documentation is imperative for liability protection. While most dispatch centers have high tech software for handling calls, many are still using pen and paper for their daily observations and other on-boarding documentation. If the agency happens to use a Word document or PDF fillable form, these forms still need to be printed and signed to ensure the trainee receives feedback.

The cumbersome nature of manual paper forms creates a hassle to track information down and ensure that a trainee’s file is complete. Quality issues arise in the absence of a consistent, standardized training program. These challenges result in a limited ability to address training issues in a timely manner and be proactive in preventing problems. And without easy, real-time access to the data, supervisors can look like they’re out of touch when asked about the status of a trainee or the overall group, especially on short notice.

It doesn’t have to be that way any longer! Agency360 is on a mission to change this approach. Our web-based field training software is designed to manage the documentation of your on-boarding training program online. Using Internet connectivity, trainers, trainees, supervisors, and administrators can access and complete their information anytime, anywhere. With fields that you can modify, the software can be adapted to your way of training and help ensure your agency-specific policies and procedures are covered.
